Abstract
This study aims to explore the characteristics and stability of Pickering emulsion based on the Maillard reaction products of polydextrose (PDX) and gluten. The effects of the PDX:gluten ratio (from 0.0:1 P0.0G1 to 2.4:1 P2.4G1) during Maillard reaction on Pickering emulsion quality were examined. The degree of PDX grafting to gluten increased from 0.51% ± 0.05%–18.99% ± 0.98% when the PDX:gluten ratio increased from 0.2:1 to 2.2:1. Scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy confirmed the structural change and covalent interaction of PDX–gluten conjugate. The P2.2G1 conjugate showed a higher emulsification activity (1.82 ± 0.04 m2/g) compared with P0.0G1 (0.97 ± 0.05 m2/g). The particle size, ζ-potential value and confocal laser scanning microscopic image of PDX–gluten conjugate-based emulsion were compared with those of gluten-based emulsion to illustrate the stability role of PDX–gluten conjugate in the interfacial layer of Pickering emulsion. This study demonstrated that the Maillard reacted gluten–PDX conjugate was a potential stabilizer for Pickering emulsions. These findings provided a foundation knowledge for the construction of Pickering emulsion based on PDX–gluten conjugates.
